Netanyahu makes case against Iran deal in address to Congress

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a highly anticipated address to Congress, delivered a message to the Obama administration on Tuesday about the threat posed by Iran: “The enemy of your enemy — is your enemy.”

The Israeli leader spoke as part of a high-profile push to make his case against a pending nuclear deal with Iran. He urged the U.S. not to “be fooled” by Iran’s efforts to oppose the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria, a group the U.S. also is fighting. Netanyahu said those groups are “competing for the crown of militant Islam.”

“When it comes to Iran and ISIS, the enemy of your enemy — is your enemy,” he said.
